So disclaimer: I am extremely new to this system, my apologies for any stupid questions. Also I'm on Windows 7, so be aware of that.
Anyway, I installed UTAU (with Japanese locale and all that) and seem to be able to get Defoko to work. So I thought I'd try installing some new voicebanks, and who better to start with than Teto? So I downloaded the English, Rikimitan, Sakebi and Tandoku banks. Unfortunately, I can't get the damn thing to work, at all.
I've tried the "drag and drop the .zip files into UTAU" installation method, which adds her as an option...but the "sample" button makes a Windows error noise, and regardless of whether I input lyrics in hiragana, katakana or romaji she just won't make a peep. I tried extracting the archives into folders in the voice folder and selecting the note folders manually, but whilst this enabled the sample button to work, it also seemed to make the UTAU info screen go blank and she still won't sing.
Am I being incredibly stupid, or is there a problem with my installation? I got everything from the official websites FWIW.
Thanks!
